Brooklyn College is one of the nation’s 209 best colleges for students seeking a great education with excellent career preparation and at a relatively affordable price, according to The Princeton Review® for the fifth straight year. Specifically, Brooklyn College finished 14th in the “Top 20 Best Schools for Financial Aid” and 42nd in the “Top 50 Best Value Colleges” in its rankings of public schools that are part of the assessment. The Princeton Review does not rank the overall list of Best Value Colleges hierarchically from 1 to 209. “The schools we chose as our Best Value Colleges for 2023 are a select group: they comprise only about 8% of the nation’s four-year undergraduate institutions,” said Rob Franek, editor-in-chief of The Princeton Review. “We commend their administrators, faculties, staff, and alumni for all they are doing to educate their students and guide them to success in their careers. These colleges are also exceptional for the generous amount of financial aid they award to students with need and/or for their comparatively low cost of attendance.” The Princeton Review chose 209 schools for the 2023 list based on data from its surveys of administrators at more than 650 colleges in 2022–23. Topics covered everything from academics, cost, and financial aid to graduation rates and student debt. The company also factored in data from its surveys of students attending the schools as well as data from PayScale.com’s surveys of alumni of the schools about their starting and mid-career salaries and job satisfaction. In all, The Princeton Review crunched more than 40 data points to tally Return on Investment (ROI) ratings of the colleges that were the basis for the Best Value Colleges school selections.
